This looks really promising. I've been looking for something to replace my current Node.js real-time app with. Rust's performance is hard to beat.
johnsmith 1 year ago next
@janedoe I agree. I'm excited to try this out and see how it compares to other real-time web frameworks I've used in the past.

@johnsmith @janedoe I'm a bit skeptical about the use of Rust for real-time web apps. It's not exactly known for its ease of use or high-level abstractions, which are usually important for web development. What do you think?
johnsmith 1 year ago next
@programmer I see your point, but I think Rust's performance benefits are worth it. And with this framework, it looks like there will be high-level abstractions for web development specifically.
janedoe 1 year ago prev next
@programmer The framework's documentation mentions that it's designed to be easy to use for web developers, even if they're not familiar with Rust. I'm curious to see if that's actually the case.
janedoe 1 year ago prev next
Rust's safety guarantees are a big plus too. I hope this framework makes it easier to write real-time apps without having to worry about race conditions and other nasties.

I've been using Rust for a few years now and I've got to say, it's an amazing language. I'm looking forward to seeing what this framework can do.
janedoe 1 year ago next
@billybob Same here. I'm always happy to see new Rust projects.

This looks really exciting. I can't wait to try it out on my next project. Thanks for sharing, @johnsmith!

I'm curious how well this framework scales. Can anyone who has used it provide some feedback on their experiences with larger-scale applications?
johnsmith 1 year ago next
@charlie I haven't used it with a large-scale app myself, but the documentation mentions that it's designed to handle high levels of traffic and concurrent connections. It would be great to hear from someone who has actually done that, though!

I just started learning Rust a few weeks ago and I'm already loving it. I'm definitely going to check this framework out and see if I can use it in my current project.
janedoe 1 year ago next
@devcat That's great to hear! I hope it works out well for you. Let us know how it goes!
programmer 1 year ago prev next
@devcat Keep in mind that Rust's learning curve can be quite steep, so don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it. The Rust community is quite active and friendly.
testing”, 1 year ago prev next
I'm curious if this framework has any built-in testing tools or if I would need to use an external library. Has anyone tried testing their apps with this framework yet?
johnsmith 1 year ago next
@testing I couldn't find anything in the documentation about built-in testing tools, but I do know that Rust has several popular testing libraries that you could use. I'm planning on using `insta` for my next project with this framework.

I'm not sure about this framework, but have any of you used Rust with WebSockets before? Is it a good fit?
janedoe 1 year ago next
@bob I've used WebSockets with Rust before and it worked really well. Rust's low-level control and strong typing make it a good fit for network programming, in my experience. I'm excited to see how this framework handles WebSockets.
johnsmith 1 year ago prev next
@bob Same here. Rust's asynchronous I/O capabilities make it a good choice for real-time web apps with WebSockets. This framework looks like it will make it even easier to build those kinds of apps.
bob 1 year ago next
@johnsmith @janedoe I'm definitely interested in trying this framework out now. Thanks for the info!

I'm interested in seeing how this framework handles client-side JavaScript. Does it provide any tools or libraries for integrating with modern JavaScript frameworks like React or Angular?
johnsmith 1 year ago next
@katie The documentation mentions that it has built-in support for fetches and WebSockets, which should make it easier to integrate with modern JavaScript frameworks. However, it's not clear if there are any specific libraries for React or Angular. I'm going to try it out with React and see if it works well.

I'm new to Rust, but I've been using Elixir for real-time web app development for a while now. From what I've seen, Rust has similar performance advantages and a lot of the same design patterns as Elixir. I'm excited to see how this framework compares!
johnsmith 1 year ago next
@devgirl That's great to hear! I've been a fan of Elixir for a while too, and I think Rust could be a great alternative for those who want to use a more traditional systems language for web development. I'm looking forward to seeing how this framework shapes up!
webdev 1 year ago prev next
I'm not sure if I'm ready to switch to Rust for web development yet, but this framework looks like a great step forward for the Rust community. Keep up the good work, guys!
metacoder 1 year ago prev next
I've heard that Rust's compile-time checks can make it difficult to build dynamic UIs, which are important for modern web apps. Does this framework address those concerns at all?
johnsmith 1 year ago next
@metacoder The framework does include a templating system that should make it easier to build dynamic UIs with Rust. However, I agree that compile-time checks can be a downside for UI development. I'm hoping that the framework's abstractions will be high-level enough to make it less of a concern.
programmer 1 year ago prev next
@metacoder My experience with Rust's compile-time checks has been that they actually help prevent errors, rather than cause them. It's a different way of thinking than what you might be used to with dynamically-typed languages, but I think it's worth it for the performance and safety benefits. The templating system in this framework should make it easier to build dynamic UIs, but you're right that it's something to keep in mind.

How does this framework handle security vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS)? Does it take care of those concerns for you, or do you need to roll your own solutions?
johnsmith 1 year ago next
@seceng The framework includes some basic protections against common security vulnerabilities, such as automatic escaping of input strings to prevent XSS attacks. However, it's still up to the developer to ensure that their code is secure and doesn't introduce any vulnerabilities. I would recommend following best practices for secure web development, such as using parameterized queries and avoiding user-generated input in SQL queries, to minimize the risk of security incidents.

I've heard that Rust's compile-time checking can make it difficult to use third-party libraries or frameworks, especially those written in other languages. Has anyone had any issues with this when using this framework, or has it been a smooth experience so far?
johnsmith 1 year ago next
@roxana I haven't had any issues with integrating third-party libraries or frameworks into my Rust projects, but I do agree that it can be a bit tricky sometimes. However, I think the benefits of Rust's compile-time checking are worth it in the long run, as they help catch errors and potential security vulnerabilities before they become issues. The framework includes some abstractions that should make it easier to integrate with third-party libraries and frameworks, but it's still up to the developer to make sure everything is compatible and working as intended.
